Cosimo Cavallaro (born 1961, Montreal, Canada) is an Italian-Canadian artist, filmmaker and sculptor. He is known for his numerous installation art pieces involving real cheese, including a series of photographs of the iconic 1960s model Twiggy draped in cheese and covering the inside of a New York City hotel room with melted mozzarella cheese. In March, 2007, the Lab Gallery at the Roger Smith Hotel in Manhattan announced that it was canceling its planned "My Sweet Lord" exhibition scheduled for Holy Week due to complaints about the inclusion of Cavallaro's 2005 piece, "I did it, Daddy."[1] "I did it, Daddy" is a life-size and anatomically correct depiction of Jesus crucified on an invisible cross sculpted entirely from chocolate.

Cavallaro won the 1990 Juno Award for Best Music Video for his video for Boomtown, by Canadian singer-songwriter Andrew Cash. He lives in New York City.
